This Special Issue of the African Journal of Democracy and Governance (AJDG) commemorates the 10th Anniversary of the adoption of the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance (henceforth, ACDEG or the Charter) in 2017. It builds upon the existing knowledge on the Charter since its adoption in 2007. More specifically, it contributes to the debate on ACDEG that the Department of Political Affairs of the African Union Commission, together with the Secretariat of the African Governance Architecture (AGA), initiated last year. The debate was kicked off with the publication of the Special Edition of the African Governance Newsletter (Volume 4, no.1, January-June 2017). This publication was followed by the convening of the Expert Seminar on the 10th Anniversary of ACDEG under the theme “Africa’s Democratic Dividends and Deficits” in Pretoria, South Africa on 4-5 December 2017.
